LEWISTON, Minn. — Police converged on downtown Lewiston after a man reported being fired on after leaving the Rec Bar. Police couldn’t find an assailant. This was about 11 p.m. Sheriff’s deputies, a state trooper and officers from Winona and St. Charles responded to back up Lewiston police. There had been a heated argument at the bar with one man reportedly threatening to fetch a shotgun. The other man said he was shot at three or four times walking home. This was in the 100 block of South First Street, a couple blocks from the bar. Police said their understanding of what happened was hampered by the man’s intoxication and a language issue. It was possible, police said, that the firearm may have been a BB, pellet or soft-air gun.
